3 stages 1 meets the devil sells soul 2 noticed he fucked up 3 the escape. .... one of the greatest mc's to ever touch the mic. pastor x will forever be my favorite
1 meets the label/ contract which is the devil.. he already knew he fucked up because they asked him to kill his homie and now knows what’s up.. 2 noticed he was walking with devil and never sold his soul officially. 3 he says” he fucked with the devil lightly, but knew if he fucked with him to hard he’d bite him” meaning when he first started to get publicity/ fame he was blind and then seen the light.. don’t know if he really sold his soul but he was close.
The conversations and arguments that Dmx had with Damien are timeless masterpieces.Damien had a way of manipulating X into doing bad things, then later bringing up the bad act to keep X under his control. DMX was a brilliant genius in his storytellingand writing.
No he wasn't he was talking about how the devil tried to get his soul and he needed to kill one of his family to reap the benefits.. But he didn't do it
Not "underrated" but under accomplished! As BRILLIANT as he was, he should have accomplished so much more than he did! He never even lived out a FRACTION of what his TRUE potential could have been. That crack pipe man! I mean, it's not like dude is dead or anything, but still... If he had only stayed focused enough to ride that wave that he was on.... Who knows.... who knows...
"The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog. How are you gonna see him if you're living in the fog?" is one of the deepest lines in rap history in my view. Edit: The line could be "The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog. How you gonna live when you live in fog." Either way it's a dope line.
Damien sticks around no matter who you are in some way shape or form. my alcoholism and delusional mind have faced me with him on countless occasions and he's a very dangerous "friend". Rest in peace D.
No way this was just art. Critical thinking tells way more about this story. No other reason to make these albums other than........ RIP X one of the very best ever.
This was a real situation...he still battles the devil very clearly but he calls the Lord back to his life and the devil flees ... This man is blessed to the core y'all
"If you have a daughter older than 15, imma rape her. Right there in front of you." I've been listening to DMX since I was a kid but don't get it twisted he's the furthest thing from your friend
The Damien was a Demon but in this song is music industry. Listen carefully to lyrics. He talks about the industry. They gave him everything, fame, money, bitches. That's when X thought they gonna ride with him till he dies. Than the shit hit the fan, he wanted out but they find a way to pull you in. In Damien 2 (The Omen), when his cousin gets killed, it's the music industry who took care of that man. And most likely it's the music industry who killed his cousin. "After what I just gave you? Wasn't actin' like that, when you asked for that favor" .In Damien 3..You've been eatin' real good lately Didn't get a shout out on your last album, what, you hate me? Also later in song, Nah, I'm just playin'; got a wife and kids? Good thing they ain't come across them triflin' kids .. Industry went that far to even threaten his family.
I just thought of this today. I'm 37 and my sister is 38. We would skip school and get on the city bus, go to Williams Park which we should NOT have been as 11 and 12 year Olds. We spent our lunch money on the hotdogs and chips back then. Lol we both had portable CD players that would skip every bump we hit on the bus. 😂 We had this CD and Ra Digga. And we would switch back and fourth on the bus, always fighting over the DMX CD. By the time I turned 13 though, it was Nirvana, Tool, Bush, white stripes, Sum 41. I became a skater girl. 😂 but I won't forget this.
@@charlesbarboza8591 i cant blame you man. dmx is more than just rap. dude preaches on life. same with everyone else i mentioned. and then people mention a jayz in their top5 but no dmx.
Death Rager you speak truth my Brother!!! The music hasn’t moved me lately, I guess I’m stuck in the 90’s 😂🤣 because DMX (also the folks you mentioned) made music that is timeless, it still moves me to this day. Of course there are many artists who are worthy of mention, I just try not to give “outside influences” too much energy. Anyway, thanks for the exchange and I wish you and your family Blessings!!!!

Susan Grant Amen. The industry wasn't ready for X and his raw style. They still ain't and that is what makes him GREAT! he's speaking about his life and telling us his story. his music had substance

Dad scooped me on weekends I always wanted to play slipping not knowing my father was struggling with drugs. If I could choose anyone to be my younger or older brother it would totally be DMX. You a BIG DAWG D 🙏
Ok right here he is telling us about the industry. Hard-core DMX fans like myself, I heard this back in the day. It went right over my head. Now I know what he meant. Damien. My God. I love this man so much.
Just came straight to this after hearing X is in hospital, lets all pray he makes it through and keep playing his music, and send him all our love light and healing, God bless ur disciples demons do this shit to them, keep them strong and conscious 🙏🙏🙏🙏
everytime i listen to 'Damien' i pick up a new metaphor in his lyrics. The more and more i listen to DMX the more n more i realise how deep his lyrics can be.
@Silense King word bro! So many dont grasp that. Honestly, most MC's that spit about deep shit like this are really expressing their childhood, or lack there of! Peace!
Even without the use of drugs, some of us face demons and the devil everyday. Sometimes we lose, sometimes we win. It's a constant battle either way. So for me, this really hits home to the heart.
Yes, I still struggle with drinking and drugs, demons have easy access to people that are addicted, especially when you're going through withdrawals. I have actual demons around me right now, they are motherfuckers to deal with. I close my eyes and I can see them rapidly constantly transforming into freaky ass shit that I can't describe. They are tormenting me. I've been going through demonic attacks for the last 11 years solid. It's hella hard to deal with.
Carmelo Colon i was addict for majority of my life I know about the battle with those demons. There is hope brother his name is Jesus Christ I hold victory against them now because of him. He came to overcome the world so that we can overcome
The most gifted must be tortured the suffering is most precious to the most high because it is she who in fact wired you y o inspire others and light will almost always attract darkness
@@trobincs1 shalawam! The MOST HIGH, whose name is AHAYAH ASHAR AHAYAH (I AM THAT I AM)Exodus 3:13-15, is in fact a man (Exodus 15:3)! The HOLY SPIRIT (RAWUACH QADASH) is a feminine spirit! Wisdom of Solomon chapter 9!
@Bright Soul happened to Pac as soon as he started speaking out directly, DMX been speaking out but more so directly recently, and Prince, and Michael Jackson as soon as they said whats what. I cant tell with Kanye whats happening or gonna happen but he is putting himself in that position for a while and I think they set their story up him with the hospitalization and the bipolar story to get him when he comes out in a few years with even more if he keeps it up. Cuz they'll let them say it for a while but when it gets too intense and too real something always happens. The world was made by God but is run by the Devil, that's why we're supposed to be in the world but not of it. People think they will face a test when they die but the test is now while we're here...will you be in the world but follow God's word? Or will you be of the world and let it consume you, your beliefs, and let it dictate your actions?
Man im only 17 and my dad showed me these songs after my basketball games when I was around 13-14 and instantly fell in love with it. This man is so creative and that last line hit me hard when the devil said "I'll be back ight" RIP DMX
Did you here X say STIKE? After I'll be back alright.....think he was trying to say you think that but I'm stronger now and he never did another DAMIEN SONG....THE END 💯
DMX had alot of meaning in his music... These songs have meaning to everyone's daily life wither the Snake,Rat,Cat,Dog is the devil, your preacher, social media, your friends, the street, your people. There's always someone trying to take you there.. I try daily to keep that anger from busting out, I think back to these songs alot.
Wow, that was DEEP... but the devil didn't win. When he started calling on the name of Jesus something changed. Chains were broken, there's another part to this that we will never here. Victory over Damien Rest In Peace
The devil is not some mythical figure from abrahamic religions created by some backwards bronze age ppl but the devil he speaks about is in all of us & it's up to us if we ultimately feed that beastly side of us. Granted are there ppl who want to jerk you in the industry but that's business. Ironically the only true conspiracies are those who feed you these tales of the illuminati who want you to focus on some shadowy figures rather than those who truly influence policy in American like the 1% who buy our politicians And Jay Gould said it best, ."I Can Hire Half the Working Class To Fight the Other Half" Essentially the conspiracy theorist are the agents of misinformation & notice how they always seem to support right wing ideologies which hate minorities as well as defend the richest family & corporation in the US while we suffer. .
This man literally spoke on his life and the real price of fame!! I got it years ago!! Sad that most don’t get it!! He didn’t have to make these songs!!! He did because he wanted to make a difference!! 💯👊🏽
You can never be ahead of your demon inside you as he could see into your future the only thing is to have mutual respect for each other and give GOOD things that he desire noticed I didn't say the bad things that he desire even the devil have something good that they like also
You can't be ahead of the devil He knows you better then you know yourself Only way out is to turn your will and your life over to God Anything else is the devil's way or life His power is second to God
Feel like I lost a big brother... D you were really deep was waiting on your gospel music. Your prayers alone were more powerful than you will ever know. Thank you God for the time and music that we got from him. RIP brother 😔
I know exactly what you mean. DMX was the soundtrack of my teenage years. I am so saddened by his passing. I hope we find out the details of his death too, because if he didn't actually OD the family deserves to know that. If he did in fact OD that breaks my heart even more. The best artists always carry such a heavy burden. I hate to think that he died that way
WOW!!!! Yeah that's real see, you do it out of your ❤️ heart,no explanations,estif you been on that same road once, smile,C I got your back on all talk about you, smile R.I.P. X!!!YOU ALWAYS BE SMILES,AS UPU BROUGHT UP
No y’all he was my favourite I named my kid over this track. Dude smoked crack with all his cash years ago.. ask one of his baby moms how much child support he owes… still one of the all time greatest. But a crack smoker.. RIP X
It's clear DMX had a love for vivid story telling. A true blessing to the rap and music universe. He lives on through these gems and that's an eternal gift to us all.
I really Like Part 1.. hot beat and dark and 3 is fast past and good as well... but 2 is so dark and grimy and eerie I have to go with part 2.. hits home more...
People don't realize these entities are very real...a drunk man acts very different from when he is sober because there's spirits in the bottle. With that being said. The way that people described these entities back in the day was to call them ghouls, goblins, gargoyles, or Jenies. They promise to bless you with riches or wherever it is you want. That's why in the story of Aladdin no matter how many well thought-out wishes he made it always ended bad because in all reality these entities can only give you what you want. God is the only one that provides what you need. Spirits are energy and energy is all around us and so are these spirits.
Mad love for DMX. Illuminati setting him up as soon as he starts rapping about being a responsible human being and a role model. Not enough rap nowadays with a decent message.
"oh yes you did, when you really needed something & you allowed to me give. you sold me your soul when you didn't say no." that line always been eerie asf lol long live the dog!!!
I met X twice in White Plains. I thought I was hard back then but seeing him I didn’t know how to approach him or if it would be intrusive but I did and he was cool we talked and laughed for 20 minutes. He was as normal as anyone I had ever met and was sincerely a great man.
No one is going to appreciate everything DMX has done till he is gone. Sad situation.
so true

This song, is about , the alleged blood sacrifices, that goes on in the music industry/hellywood. My personal opinion!!!😉😉😉
One of the greatest story concepts to ever be put on wax. X is Legend.
Word!
I wish more people would recognize.
@@AdamLacy228 it's a shame. But, those of us who were around for X's run in late 90's early 2000's.. we Know. Dude is legendary.
@Silense King word bro! So many dont grasp that. Honestly, most MC's that spit about deep shit like this are really expressing their childhood, or lack there of!
Peace!
DMX was so torn between these two sides his whole life; I pray he surrendered it all to Jesus in the end. 🙏❤️✝️
James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Amen.
Drugs = Devil..
Drugs = Devil..
@@CroHerceg88 Amen
@@sinanengin5756 Right. We have to stay sober.
Even without the use of drugs, some of us face demons and the devil everyday. Sometimes we lose, sometimes we win. It's a constant battle either way. So for me, this really hits home to the heart.
Best comment thanks.
Yes, I still struggle with drinking and drugs, demons have easy access to people that are addicted, especially when you're going through withdrawals. I have actual demons around me right now, they are motherfuckers to deal with. I close my eyes and I can see them rapidly constantly transforming into freaky ass shit that I can't describe. They are tormenting me. I've been going through demonic attacks for the last 11 years solid. It's hella hard to deal with.
Carmelo Colon i was addict for majority of my life I know about the battle with those demons. There is hope brother his name is Jesus Christ I hold victory against them now because of him. He came to overcome the world so that we can overcome
Thank you
@@carmelocolon6910 That's rough, Bless man
Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. And with your help, I know, the devil won't win.
Always love on this one
Who still playing in 2024
Not a better trilogy
2029 and still playing
Me
Of course Dmx was one of the realist rappers !
🙋♂️
Classic dmx, i spent 10 minutes listening but stayed an extra 10 mins to read the arguments haha
Im doing that right now lol
The most gifted must be tortured the suffering is most precious to the most high because it is she who in fact wired you y o inspire others and light will almost always attract darkness
@@trobincs1 shalawam! The MOST HIGH, whose name is AHAYAH ASHAR AHAYAH (I AM THAT I AM)Exodus 3:13-15, is in fact a man (Exodus 15:3)! The HOLY SPIRIT (RAWUACH QADASH) is a feminine spirit! Wisdom of Solomon chapter 9!
Had to come back here after hearing the news. Hope he makes it thru this. The world still needs X.
@Bright Soul happened to Pac as soon as he started speaking out directly, DMX been speaking out but more so directly recently, and Prince, and Michael Jackson as soon as they said whats what. I cant tell with Kanye whats happening or gonna happen but he is putting himself in that position for a while and I think they set their story up him with the hospitalization and the bipolar story to get him when he comes out in a few years with even more if he keeps it up. Cuz they'll let them say it for a while but when it gets too intense and too real something always happens. The world was made by God but is run by the Devil, that's why we're supposed to be in the world but not of it. People think they will face a test when they die but the test is now while we're here...will you be in the world but follow God's word? Or will you be of the world and let it consume you, your beliefs, and let it dictate your actions?
He gone 🥺
@@kayroxanne8151 damn man this is the last person we needed to leave us...
If u are not wid the most high and u sell ya soul this is wht happens. Go read the tattoo on his neck.. give all praise
@Bright Soul Jesuits? 😂
“I see now ain’t nothin but trouble ahead”
Prophetic line by X
The whole time you fkd wit me U didn’t like me. Sad facts of life. #WewillALWAYSLOVEX
One of the most creative artists to ever live and we'll never see anything resembling DMX ever again
Man there should've been music videos for these
JaQuan Jenkins oml
JaQuan Jenkins the illuminati is an exaggerated myth of the elites power to put fear in the people that they rule....everybody bleeds
JaQuan Jenkins
we should find out,
can we create a DMX fan club?
maybe make a fan vid for these crows funded by the fan club.
JaQuan Jenkins They would of been some demonic shut, EVIL SHIT.
JaQuan Jenkins true
Damien Pt. 1- It's Dark and Hell Is Hot
Damien Pt. 2 (The Omen) - Flesh Of My Flesh, Blood Of My Blood
Damien Pt. 3 - The Great Depression
BMWDC201 good looking
It’s dark and hell is hot, you mean?
@@brandongiovanni44 part one has just the name damien
Hell is hot
With one do u think is the best one
Man im only 17 and my dad showed me these songs after my basketball games when I was around 13-14 and instantly fell in love with it. This man is so creative and that last line hit me hard when the devil said "I'll be back ight" RIP DMX
Im 32 and id race home after school just to try and catch his videos on mtvs carson dailey show. He lives threw his music.
@@halfwaywrongway8017 Yup, DMX was the biggest thing in the late 90s till Eminem blew up. X really helped fill the void after Pac and Big died.
Did you here X say STIKE? After I'll be back alright.....think he was trying to say you think that but I'm stronger now and he never did another DAMIEN SONG....THE END 💯
@@ShoneDaddy that's a lie. Eminem will never be on DMX level
@@Ralph-o6wthats not what he meant
R.I.P DMX. You were and will always be an amazing talent.
Nas, ghost, dmx, and slick Rick greatest storytellers. Vivid like movies
yu forgot biggie smalls..
True story big was crazy wit it
yea...especially gangsta stories..or fuckN ay nigga bitch stories lol
the 2 live crew and e-40
Big L > all named above
X’s cries for help on Damien 3 gave me goosebumps, that man wasn’t playing, he wanted out and you actually felt that shit in him
That’s why he wanted to retire after the grand champ album.
I don't think dmx gets the credit he deserves for being such a great story teller n lyricist.. the omen and Damien are straight up genius
Marilyn Manson on the Damien 2 hook is fireee🔥🔥🔥🔥💯 RIP Darkman X
DMX feat. Marilyn Manson man I love the facts that they were able to collab.. Being a fan of both man they really painted the canvas well.
+Jabarii Williams -- It's a masterpiece.
man I thought that was him but I thought I was just tripping lol
That wasnt a collaboration. Manson wasnt lyrics
I've never done this before, but I just... I have this urge
WHO'S LISTENING IN 2020!
TathD we out here.
Kenny my guy you know
Course
who's listening during co- vid house arrest?
Yurrrrrr
DMX had alot of meaning in his music...
These songs have meaning to everyone's daily life wither the Snake,Rat,Cat,Dog is the devil, your preacher, social media, your friends, the street, your people. There's always someone trying to take you there.. I try daily to keep that anger from busting out, I think back to these songs alot.
Couldn't have said it any better myself
Not many people have a preacher
There is no devil
You crazy fucks
WELL SAID!!!
20.09.2023 und DMX dröhnt immer noch durch die Boxen... Legende..!!!
Wow, that was DEEP... but the devil didn't win. When he started calling on the name of Jesus something changed. Chains were broken, there's another part to this that we will never here. Victory over Damien Rest In Peace
He did tho
@@melissalane9195 He didn't. Death is not the end for believers.
no victory over damien
x sold his soul
@@saiahbuul God has the victory. The battle is not ours. Repentance is available to us all.
@@saiahbuul I'm sorry to hear that smh
he's trying to tell people the truth but everyone just think its another song
Kevin Francis The most accurate comment plain and simple!
All DMX spits is pure truth
Try to resist the evil masters of entertainment, and watch your career evaporate.
The devil is not some mythical figure from abrahamic religions created by some backwards bronze age ppl but the devil he speaks about is in all of us & it's up to us if we ultimately feed that beastly side of us. Granted are there ppl who want to jerk you in the industry but that's business. Ironically the only true conspiracies are those who feed you these tales of the illuminati who want you to focus on some shadowy figures rather than those who truly influence policy in American like the 1% who buy our politicians And Jay Gould said it best, ."I Can Hire Half the Working Class To Fight the Other Half" Essentially the conspiracy theorist are the agents of misinformation & notice how they always seem to support right wing ideologies which hate minorities as well as defend the richest family & corporation in the US while we suffer. .
He sold me his soul when he did say no
This man literally spoke on his life and the real price of fame!! I got it years ago!! Sad that most don’t get it!! He didn’t have to make these songs!!! He did because he wanted to make a difference!! 💯👊🏽
I just got it...I don't know how I didn't put it together earlier...wtf
@@Kostacoast123 ek
Today's rapper didn't take heed to DMX lyrics now they caught caught up with the devil, they representing him in this rap game today, a travesty.
Amen
Facts ❤
Only rapper to drop 2 platinum albums in 1 year. And i bought them both. On cd. At the store. Back when you had to work for it
Dmx is a legend
Mr HGuy
Facts..real raw talk in his lyrics!!
That's my Nigga But He Sold his Soul to Lucifer For the Riches Smh 😔 #HeIsTalkingAboutTheCommitmentHeMadeWithTheDevil
DMX was tha shit back then but even i have 2 admit his flame isnt as bright now compared 2 then
Really? We didn't know that.
Greatest song trilogy in rap history
JOHN MiKE what are some other ones
Hakeem Allen Mystikal's "murderer" trilogy
C&N Blood Money
Tech N9ne- Psycho B
True!!
I played this to the Demon's in me, just to let him know I knew all his plans... And am always a step ahead of him listening to X music. Thank you X
You can never be ahead of your demon inside you as he could see into your future the only thing is to have mutual respect for each other and give GOOD things that he desire noticed I didn't say the bad things that he desire even the devil have something good that they like also
You can't be ahead of the devil
He knows you better then you know yourself
Only way out is to turn your will and your life over to God
Anything else is the devil's way or life
His power is second to God
Slide 3
Mark 9:18 I love your demons dont hurt no body and stain the world with your greatness ✨️
on god ❤
Who still bumpin this in 2020?💪🔥
Amazing Lyrical Story telling... Painting the picture of demons fought both internally and externally!! 💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Truth Spoken
The Damien song still go hard (pause) it’s 2024 almost 2025 and I still come back from time to time to play these songs. R.I.P The Dog X
I do the same. Let me fly
DMX.... most tortured rapper in history
you right!!.. i agree.
Sameee
Pac..
Heinrich Himmler
Nah he kinda could..... Pac had a horrible childhood
Len Xiang its because he went against the illuminati thats why 1.he lost fame 2 . Constant jail trips
Feel like I lost a big brother... D you were really deep was waiting on your gospel music. Your prayers alone were more powerful than you will ever know. Thank you God for the time and music that we got from him. RIP brother 😔
It’s because we have lost a brother in christ 😥 but we will see him again sister
X🙏
I know exactly what you mean. DMX was the soundtrack of my teenage years. I am so saddened by his passing. I hope we find out the details of his death too, because if he didn't actually OD the family deserves to know that. If he did in fact OD that breaks my heart even more. The best artists always carry such a heavy burden. I hate to think that he died that way
It was EASY TO GO FROM PAC TO X💯🌹🌹💯
#WellSaid💪🏾
Its deeper than music please rest in peace
I almost forgot about this song. Still slaps and just added it to my everyday playlist. RIP DMX.
Me too forsure....DMX the realest......
DMX DAMIEN STORYLINE CHILL GIVE GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTIME
Scares me when his voice comes in so fast every time
@@Aquariusproduct ikr
Factz!!
The Damien trilogy was always among my favorites from X. I will forever bump his music. Thanks for all the memories. Rest easy Legend
Dmx is great he had 30 million in the bank and he still ate with the homeless that is much respect ✊
WOW!!!! Yeah that's real see, you do it out of your ❤️ heart,no explanations,estif you been on that same road once, smile,C I got your back on all talk about you, smile R.I.P. X!!!YOU ALWAYS BE SMILES,AS UPU BROUGHT UP
No y’all he was my favourite I named my kid over this track. Dude smoked crack with all his cash years ago.. ask one of his baby moms how much child support he owes… still one of the all time greatest. But a crack smoker.. RIP X
Brother x.admitted yes he's crack problem as a Man,yet I've never could see it hear the difference between his style???
You just had to be the one huh
@@ru-ga9326 , brother X
One of the greatest and even greater as he R.I.P.,I don't argue no legends style so, I bet y a youngster,me im 48
not a huge hip hop fan but DMX was a ghetto prophet...rest in peace
metaphorical and mind bending...lost in a labrynth and a mental murder maze
It's clear DMX had a love for vivid story telling. A true blessing to the rap and music universe. He lives on through these gems and that's an eternal gift to us all.
I really Like Part 1.. hot beat and dark and 3 is fast past and good as well... but 2 is so dark and grimy and eerie I have to go with part 2.. hits home more...
I like 2 also
He started messing with Damien again... they know his album would go crazy right after his passing of course .. happy he made these songs
damn,,my exact thoughts few days back,and now hes gone..rip
You sold me your soul when you didn’t say no
Hey girl Whats up
Wow out of these 100s of lyrics thats the 1 you feel? Leech😉
People don't realize these entities are very real...a drunk man acts very different from when he is sober because there's spirits in the bottle. With that being said. The way that people described these entities back in the day was to call them ghouls, goblins, gargoyles, or Jenies. They promise to bless you with riches or wherever it is you want. That's why in the story of Aladdin no matter how many well thought-out wishes he made it always ended bad because in all reality these entities can only give you what you want. God is the only one that provides what you need. Spirits are energy and energy is all around us and so are these spirits.
your dreaming
That was very well put.
You on crack?
Exactly. People living like those things don’t exist. Even good/ bad thing that happend on daily basis are mere coincidence.
Ever wonder why the drinks are called "spirits". Food for thought.
R.I.P X can't believe you were dropping jewels on the rap game even back then.... Rest easy
Most people never understood the meaning of these songs.
He's talking to the devil its obvious as hell!
what do you mean by 'most?'
Truth be told
Just for some clarity, he’s Damien just on crack or battling the urge to go on that crack binge?
@@purfoxvr1524 it's about killing people then he questions DAMIEN when he wants him to kill his best friend. Never was it about crack.
Mad love for DMX. Illuminati setting him up as soon as he starts rapping about being a responsible human being and a role model. Not enough rap nowadays with a decent message.
Came straight to these songs after I heard the news 😢 RIP LEGEND
😭😭😭😭
Same bro.. sad
"oh yes you did, when you really needed something & you allowed to me give. you sold me your soul when you didn't say no." that line always been eerie asf lol long live the dog!!!
Man all the legends from my time
Are dying.time goes by so fast
People think he’s talking about drugs or something but he literally is talking about the Devil. Literally.
after hearing this i have even more respect for DMX
I met X twice in White Plains. I thought I was hard back then but seeing him I didn’t know how to approach him or if it would be intrusive but I did and he was cool we talked and laughed for 20 minutes. He was as normal as anyone I had ever met and was sincerely a great man.
